"Otavalo market is a must-see"
The indigenous market in Otavalo is one of the most colorful and authentic places we visited in South America. Our guide helped us navigate and even negotiate prices respectfully. The Cayambe volcano views on the way were stunning.

"El mercado de los ponchos es mágico"
Nunca había visto tantos colores y texturas en un solo lugar. El mercado de Otavalo es simplemente increíble. El guía nos explicó la historia de los Kichwa y su tradición artesanal. La parada en la línea ecuatorial fue divertidísima.

"Cultural richness at its finest"
Otavalo gave me a completely different perspective on Ecuador. The weavers and their craft are extraordinary. Our driver/guide was fantastic — knew everyone in the market and took us to the best spots for photos.
